What kind of programs are out there for cheating?

[Chippy420]

I have been playing a freestyle game with TwinKiller and he seems to have some sort of program to help him cheat. I understand there are people out there that constantly refresh so they can play as soon as possible, but he obviouslty has a program to help him cheat.

Everytime I start my turn he does as well, at the exact same second...everytime. I can see it happening within a second or two but the EXACT same second?

There have been a few hours between some of my turns and still......the second I start he does as well.

Something is fishy.

Not a cheat, Clickable Maps.

Go through the instructions and you can have them too. They aren't uncommon on the site. Happy clubbing,

Yes, there is a legal script called clickable maps, but there could be an illegal script that allows the player to start their turn immediately when it's available. As long as the player is actually playing their turn, they probably don't have such a script, but if they're not actually playing out their turn, it might be a case for the Cheating & Abuse Forum.

That is probably the round he is talking about... An hour and a half later Twin Killer is still sitting there hitting refresh and begin? Yet doesn't start making moves until 43 minutes later? Seems fishy to me

Yeah this definitely seems beyond the pale of just f5 and clickies...

Chippy, you will be happy to know a C&A report has been filed, located here:

[Queen_Herpes]

Anbody know of any other good, yet illegal, scripts?

[SirSebstar]

yes.

[Dukasaur]

You know, I've read about stuff like this a few times. (Actually, I think it might have happened to me once or twice but until recently I didn't pay close enough attention to my games that I could say for sure, and I rarely play freestyle anyway)

It occurs to me that there is a very easy fix for it: just make the "Begin turn" button activate by the same key as the "End turn" button. That way, if someone does have a script that sends "Begin turn" every three seconds and they're not actually playing, it will just end their turn three seconds later and they'll be only hurting themselves.
